main: make vis instance into a global

This might be controversial to some but for the purposes of the
editor there will never be more than one instance of vis. This
allows the compiler to use more efficient rip relative addressing
in the places where it knows the code is referring to the global
instance.

Once the code is compiling in a single translation unit with all
functions declared static this will allow for much better
optimization.

From the perspective that vis is meant to be a library, which is
what Marc clearly intended, changing vis_new() to vis_init() and
vis_free() to vis_cleanup() is still better design. The library
user should be allowed to place the vis instance wherever they
want in memory.
